Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

Brothers, we are not short of food, so why don’t we think of a way to leave something for the next generation?

Xu Damao looked around and saw no one around, so he put forward his own opinion.

In fact, in Liu Rui's mind, the most trustworthy people are his second uncle Liu Haizhong's family. Liu Rui took Liu Ying, Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e to his second uncle Liu Haizhong's house.

Oh! Xiao Rui, what happened? Why did you bring a bunch of wives to the second uncle's house?

Faced with the teasing from the second uncle, the thin-skinned Lou Xiao'e lowered her head shyly, with the blush on her face reaching all the way to her neck.

Liu Rui smiled and said, "Second Uncle, I'm thinking that we should leave something really useful for our descendants. You see, the food will go bad before it's finished. Why don't we think of some ways to make the children live better in the future."

Liu Haizhong nodded and said thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense. But how should we do it specifically?"

Liu Rui suggested: "For example, we can teach children some practical skills, such as farming and breeding, so that they can learn to be self-reliant."

At this time, Qin Huairu interrupted and said, "Or we can set up a school to teach children to read and write, so that they can have more opportunities."

Everyone agreed and decided to start preparing.

Liu Ying, who had been silent the whole time, said, "We can only set up a literacy class and a school. Have you thought about it?"

What kind of school is this? It's for children who are not yet of school age. They learn to read and walk ahead of other children. Lou Xiao'e explained to Qin Huairu carelessly. ...

In this period of material scarcity, Liu Guangtian's proposal was like a ray of hope, illuminating everyone's hope. He proposed to exchange food for gold and silver jewelry, antiques and other things on the black market, and this idea made everyone excited.

Liu Ying quietly watched everyone's happy faces, feeling mixed emotions. She understood the importance of this decision to all families, but also knew the risks involved. However, in the face of her family's expectations, she chose to remain silent and did not express any opposition.

So, the two families started to get busy. They carefully selected some food and prepared to go to the black market to trade. Liu Guangtian walked in front with confidence, while Liu Ying followed silently behind, full of worries.

In the black market, the crowds are bustling and crowded. There are all kinds of items, dazzling, as if entering a mysterious and tempting world. Liu Guangtian is like a fish in water in this chaotic market. He shuttles between the stalls skillfully, with sharp eyes, constantly looking for valuable things.

Suddenly, a thin man grabbed Liu Guangtian and asked him to follow him to a secluded place. It turned out that the man knew some unknown secret trading places, where more precious treasures were waiting for buyers. Liu Guangtian followed him without hesitation, full of expectations.

Coming to a secluded corner, Liu Guangtian began to bargain with the sellers. Relying on his years of experience and excellent eloquence, he tried to exchange the least amount of money for the most wealth. He cleverly took advantage of the other party's psychological weaknesses, sometimes exerting pressure, sometimes giving in, and putting the other party in a passive position. Liu Ying, who was standing by, followed Liu Guangtian closely. She was nervously watching everything around her, her palms were full of sweat, fearing that something unexpected would happen.

After a fierce competition, Liu Guangtian finally succeeded in exchanging some gold and silver jewelry and antiques. These items sparkled brightly in the sun, as if telling of their glorious history. Liu Guangtian carefully examined these treasures, with a satisfied look in his eyes.

Looking at Liu Ying not far away, Liu Guangtian took her to an old yard. Putting the gold and silver jewelry and antiques on the table, the two excitedly compared the accounts. After comparing them clearly, the two admired these hard-earned gains. Everyone's face was filled with gratified smiles, and they felt that the hard work of the day was worth it. These precious items not only represent material wealth, but also a guarantee for the future of children.

However, although Liu Ying seemed to be overjoyed, she was always shrouded in a shadow. She knew that although this transaction solved the current dilemma, the things the family had hoarded were too few, and it would not be worth mentioning if they were distributed to each child. The road ahead was still long and there would be more challenges and difficulties to face. But she also firmly believed that as long as the family united and worked together, they would be able to achieve their goals.

"Brother Guangtian, can we really prevent others from discovering the problem this time?" Liu Ying asked in a low voice, her eyes full of worry.

Liu Guangtian patted his sister's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, these things are enough for now. Come back later. It will be troublesome if someone else takes over if you trade too frequently. Besides, Liu Rui will find more ways to make money so that your family can live a good life that everyone will envy."

Liu Ying nodded, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that Liu Rui had always been the backbone of this family, and as long as he was there, everything would be simple.

On the way home, they discussed how to deal with the money they had exchanged. They wanted to use part of the money to support the old and young men in the compound, and leave these gold and silver jewelry and antiques to the children.
